This looks like a bunch of baseless assertions. Good games sell. I'll just pull one example out of the air - Portal 2. Relatively recent. PC version sold over 2

This looks like a bunch of baseless assertions. Good games sell. I'll just pull one example out of the air - Portal 2. Relatively recent. PC version sold over 2 million copies. And iOS games are harder to pirate than that. As far as that goes, mobile Minecraft has sold more than 15 million copies, and it's priced at $7, a price point I bet a lot of people would think is high for a mobile game. I think what a lot of people see as gamers not forking over money is really game developers with delusional expectations of pushing a lot of uninspiring shit games.
